    Ambient lighting in the Bighorn is just a small light in the overhead console that shines down on the console/cupholder area.

    Whats the first car you drove/learned to drive on?

    1962 Chrysler 300 coupe with a 383 and pushbutton transmission. It originally was a two barrel, but I changed it over to a four barrel and added dual exhausts. It could show up some of the "muscle cars" around town. I had that car for 14 years, it had around 260,000 miles when I sold it.

    Front valance lower side tips?

    I think if you have the active air dam, you get the curved ends. If you have air suspension, you do not get the active air dam and get the straight ends.

    Black OEM Tow Hook Kit

    I have heard the same thing about them being backordered, nearly impossible to find right now. I got mine from Mopar Parts online last year and spent around $150 for the tow hooks and the bezel kit. There are some installation videos online that will save you a lot of frustration putting them on.

    Jerky operation in 4x4 high range

    When I had my 2500 I had to take corners extra wide, even in slush and snow or it would bind and hop like you are describing. I would even pop it back in 2WD momentarily if pulling into a tight driveway or side street. Welcome to the world of solid front axles. Totally normal.

    Options that do not show on the sticker

    For what it's worth, my last truck was a 2500 with factory 17" wheels. I bought a nice set of used factory 18" wheels when it needed tires, and switched it over to the 18". I also added the roof clearance lights. The window sticker and door jamb sticker still said 17" wheels of course, and no...

    Door Ding

    I had a small ding in my passenger door taken out by a PDR shop. It was at the lower crease, about 6" up from the bottom. They charged me $100 if I remember correctly. It seemed a bit pricey, but they did a perfect job. The doors are steel on these trucks- take a magnet to it. The hood and...

    Another really inane feature...(Tire Fill Alerts Disabled)

    Putting air in and going back to check the dash readout periodically will not work since you have to be in motion for the readings to update.

    1st Oil Change Questions - Warranty voiding...

    I used to do all my own oil changes, but now it doesn't really pay to. Till I buy 7 quarts at around $5 or $6 each, a good filter for $8 , I spent close to $50 and then have to get rid of the drain oil as well. My dealer does it for around $45 with synthetic blend in the truck and full...

    need help in decision 2019 Ram 2500 or 2020 ram 1500 limited

    I had a 2500 for five years, traded it in on my 2019 1500. The 2500 looked great with the higher stance and all, but I personally got tired of the rough ride and the overall sluggish, heavy performance. The new 5th generation 1500 drives like a performance car compared to the 2500, and rides...

    How can I tell if I have a lsd?

    If you jack up the back end (both rear tires off the ground) with vehicle in neutral, spin the one wheel. If the other side spins the opposite direction, you have an open rear. If the other side turns in the same direction, you have a "posi" , "anti-spin" , "sure-grip" or "lsd", whichever you...

    2019 Ram Limited issue windshield fogging up on the inside

    You have moisture somewhere inside like drstein said. Probably damp carpets either from a leak or someone shampooed the carpets. With 24K the interior probably needed some major cleaning before you bought it. I used to work at a dealership and after major detailing on a used car, the windows...

    What Ramps (for oil changes) are you using?

    I bought a set of the Rhino ramps when I got the truck. They have rubber feet on them which help, but all ramps tend to slip forward a bit. I had a set of 30 year old stamped steel ramps as well, but they were way too narrow for the 275-55-20 tires. The tires hung over the lips on the sides...

    People with SUVs: how does your RAM ride quality compare?

    We have a Grand Cherokee with air suspension as well, and I think the Ram is as smooth or smoother riding than the Jeep. My son says it is a Chrysler 300 with a bed. I have owned dozens of vehicles over the years, and I can say this Ram 1500 is the nicest driving and riding I have ever owned.

    Moulded Mud Flap install with Rear Wheel Liners

    I put on the Weathertechs and I have the rear wheelhouse liners. There were no problems whatsoever. They actually fit over the existing spats, so there is really no way to screw up the alignment.

    Metallic rattle with moderate throttle

    Maybe a loose exhaust heat shield?

    Add OEM remote start...?

    When I had my 2013 Ram I asked the dealer about it. You would need new key fobs, which for the 2019 would be pricey. I believe they quoted me around $500 back then, but the 2013 had a cheaper fob. That would have been parts and labor.
